Goodman Furnace Error Codes
Goodman (and its sister brand Amana) gas furnaces are among the most-installed in BC homes, valued for value and parts availability. Their integrated control board reports faults as a number of LED flashes seen through the sight glass — and most of those faults trace to a handful of common causes we diagnose every winter.
How Goodman shows faults: Goodman/Amana furnaces flash a fault code on the control-board LED; count the flashes and check the legend on the blower-door label. The conditions below are what those flash codes mean.
Ignition Lockout
highYour Goodman or Amana furnace tried to light across its ignition trials, never proved flame, and locked out. Most boards then retry automatically after about an hour.
Weak or Lost Flame Signal
highThe furnace lit but the flame-sensing rod read too little current, so the board dropped the gas valve to stay safe. A classic Goodman fault as the sensor oxidizes.
Pressure Switch Stuck Open
highThe inducer ran but the board never saw the pressure switch close, so it will not allow ignition — a draft/venting safety interlock.
Pressure Switch Stuck Closed
moderateThe board saw the pressure switch already closed before the inducer started, which it treats as a fault and refuses to fire.
Open High-Limit Switch
highThe high-limit opened because the heat exchanger got too hot — almost always an airflow problem, and a fault you should not ignore.
Flame Rollout Switch Tripped
criticalA safety-critical fault: flame rolled out of the burner box instead of drawing into the heat exchanger. The furnace locks out hard and must be manually reset by a technician after diagnosis.
Flame Detected With No Call for Heat
criticalThe board senses flame when the gas valve should be closed — a serious gas-control fault that locks the furnace out.
Blower or Inducer Motor Fault
highThe furnace cannot run the inducer or the main blower correctly, so it shuts down — both are essential for safe operation.
